3. TRANSITION AREA After these formalities are completed you can make your way to the transition area. You will have a designated basket with your number on it where you should place all the items you will need for the second leg of the race. You will need to already be wearing the items you need for the first leg! Take note of where your basket is located also so you can find it quickly.

5. RACE BRIEFING A briefing is held approx. 10 minutes prior to race start where you will be informed of the route for the event, wave start times and any other last minute information.
6. RACE START Take some deep breathes and relax prior to the start of the race. If you are unsure of your ability then start at the back of the pack and take your time working into the race. There are volunteers along the entire course who can answer any questions you may have.
7. POST RACE Be sure to grab a drink and find some shade immediately after you finish the race. Chat to some other competitors about your race and compare stories!

18. I'm not a good swimmer, will it be OK for me to enter?
Of course! You can do any stroke that you like, as slow as you like! We have lifeguards patrolling the swim course should you get into any trouble, but most people find that if they take the swim slowly they get to the other end just fine!

19. Will I come last?
Somebody has to come last in every race, and usually they get the biggest round of applause out of any competitor! You should race for enjoyment and not worry about your placing.
